Book excerpt: Updated throughout, the 7th edition of Bradt's Antarctica: a Guide to Wildlife is the most practical guide to the flora and fauna available for those 'going south'. Celebrating the amazing and often unique species of this spectacular environment, the title features chapters on the region's famous whales and penguins, and also on lesser known species such as skuas and sheathbills, with full coverage of plumage and identification. Each chapter is accompanied by vibrant illustrations from Dafila Scott to help bring species to life. Tony Soper's immaculate and engaging text remains the indispensible choice for the intrepid wildlife enthusiast. Antarctica's wildlife is under threat. The Southern Ocean is warming and the most obvious effect is on the continental ice shelves. Spectacular retreats and monster carvings from the west coast of the peninsula have been seen in recent decades. Less ice means fewer krill, which depend on the ice-edge for the algae which nourish them. In turn, this will impact on seal and whale numbers. In the case of penguins, while kings and macaronis, for instance, are doing well, the magnificently adapted and truly Antarctic species, Adélies and emperors, are in decline. In the case of emperors, maybe by as much as 50%. Bradt's Antarctica not only helps you to identify and understand species and habitats, it also explains the issues faced by this extraordinary continent, regarded by many as one of the most precious places on the planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth, and it is the fifth largest. It is located at the South Pole in the southern hemisphere, and it consists of a glacier-covered landmass surrounded by the Southern Ocean. Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest place on Earth, with a harsh and extreme environment that makes it difficult for human habitation. However, despite the harsh conditions, Antarctica is home to unique wildlife and natural resources that are of incredible scientific interest. The continent is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System, which promotes scientific cooperation, environmental protection, and peaceful relations among the countries that have claimed territories in Antarctica. The Treaty also prohibits military activity, nuclear testing, and mineral exploitation, which helps to preserve Antarctica as a pristine and valuable scientific laboratory. Each year, researchers from around the world travel to Antarctica to study its geology, climate, and biodiversity, as well as to conduct experiments in astronomy, astrophysics, and microbiology. Antarctica is also a popular tourist destination, attracting thousands of visitors who come to experience its stunning scenery, unique wildlife, and extreme environment.
